President Donald Trump announced Friday he is ordering two nuclear
submarines to be positioned near Russia after "provocative statements"
from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
"Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President
of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the
Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear
Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case
these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump wrote on his Truth Social page.
"Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended
consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you
for your attention to this matter!"
After Trump on Monday said he was reducing a deadline for Russia to agree to a Ukraine peace settlement from 50 days to 10 or 12 days, Medvedev wrote on X that Trump was playing "the ultimatum game" and that such an approach could lead to war.
The Pentagon typically doesn't announce the deployment of nuclear
submarines because they are often on secret missions surveilling Russian
and Chinese submarines, Politico reported.
Trump did not say whether he is positioning submarines that are capable of launching nuclear strikes.
